Not all There;

The Smith family in South Cafoli-
is one Of the oldest and largest and
most numerous and most respectable
in thu State. It has branches in
othef states, particularly in Virginia,
whehe, as is we'll known, every body
is { descendant Of either John Smith
on Pocahontas, with the chances in
favor Ct John. Indeed, if all accounts
be true, there are Smiths in other
lands than ours; and no one would be
at hll surprised to learn that the man
in the moon would answer to the
name, if he should or could hear it
called through telescope or some
Instrument of the kind.
I For these reasons every body was
interested in the picnic which occ,ml'=
cd at Greenville few days ago, and
which was purely select affair of
Smiths. 1t is true that there vas
only ffty-fvc of the name g, the par,

THE RESERVOIR WAR.

Two Young Farmers with Old Guns Want
to Clean Out the iMilitary-The situa-
tion.
CECIL, o., April 27.-This morning two
young farmers started out from Antwerp
with old guns on their backs and with the
avowal of cleaning out the military, but
were not heard from. and there is not the
slightest danger that there will be any
violent collision between the military and
the inhabitants. No more damage
to the reservoir has been at
tempted, and all is quiet. The
reservoir is believed by most residents to
be nuisance. The farmers along the
border Of the reservoir and the canal
have been under water and their lands
made worthless for years, and they are
ready to do most any thing to relieve the
condition Of affairs. They have applied
time and again to the State authori-
ties to do their duty in repairing the canal,
but without effect. The near approach to
success in the last Legislature made the
failure all the more exasperating, and the
farmers whose lands are damaged have
taken the law into their own hands. The
two thousand acres which the reservoir
covers would make the best land in the
State, but besides this land, which would
revert to the State, the condition of the res
ervoir makes worthless nearly twenty
five thousand acres Of private lands west
of the reservoir. II it had been kept in re-
pair and fresh water in it no one would
have objected, but no one has any faith
that it will be done, and the people
don't want the canal under any circum-
stances

FIVE MEN sUFFOCATED.
Another Mine Horror In the Penn
sylvania Goal Region.
A Pillar Collapses Cutting on the Miners
from the Ventilated Part Of the Works.

ASHLAND, Pa, April 27.-The mining
patch on the outskirts Of town were
thrilled with excitement this afternoon
when 1t was reported that four men were
killed in the tunnel colliery. People left
their homes at once, and men, women and
children hurried to the mouth Of the
shaft. There they were told that pillar
down In the mine had collapsed, cutting
of five men at least from the ventilated
part Of the mine, and they might be
suffocated to death. Brave men went to
the relief Of the imprisoned miners to dig
them out Of their underground prison.
When the pillar fell all avenue Of escape
was cut of. While the men were busy at
work digging for the unfortunates their
relatives in tears about the mine were be-
moaning their fate. Finally word was re-
ceived above that the unfortunates had
been reached. The weeping people be-
came silent in their eagerness to know
the worst. The announcement that the
men had been suffocated to death was re-
ceived with loud lamentations. Then one
by one the bodies were hoisted to the sur

Calf Causes The Death Of Two Men.

MONTICELLO, ILL, April Ell. II. Burns,
wealthy and highly respected farmer,
was engaged in painting the shingles Of
his barn, which three men were mailing
down. All four were standing on bracket
scaffold, twenty feet from the ground. A
calf running at large with rope around
its neck managed to wrap the rope several
times around one Of the posts used to sup.
port the scaffolding at an angle Of fifty de-
grees. One Of the workmen noticed tho
fact, and was about to descend the ladder
and liberate the calf, when the animal
made sudden spring, jerked the support
from under one end Of the scaffold, precip-
itating all four of the men to the ground.
Mr.. Burns fell with the back of his head
on foundation stone, crushing his skull
and died instantly. Robert Newton was
SO badly injured that there is no hope Of
his recovery. The other men were not se-
riously hurt.
